Chapter 3 Defending Nanjing?

The sky has lost its light at this time, I don't know if the road is affected by the killing atmosphere in the world, there is a solemn atmosphere between the heavens and the earth, and the darkness envelops the four fields at a speed visible to the human eye - Qian Guangming stood on the turret of an armored car, holding a telescope and looking at the battlefield not far away, and saw the student soldiers fall to the ground one after another, and the Japanese machine gunner pulled the trigger almost insolently, and he who had not yet recovered from the effects of the Japanese gas bomb pressed the microphone and shouted: "The target is in front, fight!" ”

"Boom ......" Almost at the same time, the engines of all armored vehicles and tanks let out a roar like a wild beast, and black smoke spread out one after another, and in the choking smell of oil smoke, all the chariots accelerated together and rushed towards the battlefield close at hand. The turret slowly rose under the control of the gunner, and the anti-aircraft machine gun was pressed flat, and the muzzle of the black hole was pointed at the devils who turned their backs to them, and the flames of revenge could be sprayed at any moment.

As the chariot unit approached, the faces of the officers and soldiers of the cadet soldiers began to show smiles, Wang Changyun smiled fiercely, knocked down a devil with one shot, and waved his hand and shouted: "Brothers, our chariot troops are coming, kill!" ”

The devils of the two brigades held this student army from the left and right, plus the large army that crossed the bridge to kill, if nothing else, it would definitely be able to completely annihilate this student army, but with the addition of those iron guys, all this became unknown.

The first to discover the armored unit of the Cadet Army was Ushijima Sadao, who saw more than 100 combat vehicles lined up in a dense formation and rushed towards the position of the Japanese brigade on the right. ”

The chief of staff, Megumi Koto, stayed by his side, and at this time, the gentleman was looking in the direction of the armored troops with a telescope, and when he heard the words of the division commander, the muscles on his face spasmed, and said: "That's right, it's from the Cadet Army, more than a hundred vehicles, God, could it be that the poison gas bomb just now didn't kill them?" ”

Ushijima Sadao has been in battle for a long time, considering that there are not enough armored troops on hand and the chariot units of the Cadet Corps to resist hard, he decisively ordered the troops to stop the attack, disperse and hide on the spot, and then ordered the heavy artillery wing to set up positions on the spot, aiming at the chariot units of the Cadet Corps to shell.

Since the Great Wall War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, the strength of the armored units of the Cadet Army has attracted enough attention from the Japanese army, which is also the most fundamental reason why the Japanese army began to step up the development of heavy combat vehicles. And in Ushijima Sadao's view, there is obviously still a lot of error in the data collected by the Kwantung Army, take the tank troops in front of him as an example, those oversized guys are not at all what Quirrell can deal with - hateful, he said: "Those idiots in the military department still think that as long as they improve the armor for Quirrell, they can fight against the chariots of the Cadet Army, but you see, those muzzles, at least 70 mm or more, if the people in China are equipped with special shells, how thick the armor will be to form effective protection - order the troops crossing the river, retreat." , the Tenya and Kunisaki detachments have been destroyed, and there is no need to sacrifice too much in this kind of battle with extremely asymmetrical strength and strength. ”

"Hello!"

Because of the bombing they encountered before, the officers and soldiers of the chariot brigade hate the little devils for themselves. It's like a martial arts master was suddenly poisoned by the enemy, and the Japanese army's next tactics made them completely angry.

Therefore, under the blow of their cannons, although Ushijima Sadao gave the order to retreat in time, the two brigades that crossed the river were still greatly killed. There were more than 2,500 people, and only more than 1,800 people were the last to withdraw from the battlefield safely.

This is still because Qian Guangming's main purpose is only to save people, if they open their minds to kill, not to mention those two brigades, it is the entire 23rd Brigade and the 18th Division directly under the troops, it is estimated that they will be greatly defeated.

The two armies converged, and the Japanese began to retreat in the opposite direction, and they did not even dare to take away the remains and wounded of the Japanese soldiers on the battlefield.

As soon as the Japanese army retreated, Wang Changyun, who was in a state of excitement, clamored to launch a counterattack: "Brigade Commander Qian, cross the river, annihilate these devils, and avenge Commander Zhang!" ”

While ordering the troops to clean up the battlefield, enforce battlefield discipline on the wounded of the Japanese army, and rescue the wounded on his own side, Qian Guangming said: "The task we have received is only to take your unit, and later, we will rush to join the 13th Brigade......

"But Lao Tzu died so many brothers."

"Boom!" With a bang, a bombshell fell more than 50 meters away from them, and an armored car close to the explosion point was immediately overturned.

Qian Guangming frowned and said: "Look at it, the Japanese army has heavy artillery and a lot of tanks, and we can't eat those devils with our alone." Commander Wang, I also want to avenge my brothers, but now our task is to bring you and the brothers of the 13th Brigade back to the army safely. Lowering his voice, he said, "You should know about the commander and Commander Li, right?" To avoid chaos, we cannot launch a big operation now. Let's talk about everything when we get back to headquarters. ”

"Ball!" Wang Changyun is very unwilling, his regiment has more than 1,200 people, and now there are less than 100 people alive, if according to the regulations, the establishment of his regiment can already be revoked, how can he not be angry?

Niu Yide came over, patted him on the shoulder, pulled him aside, and persuaded: "Execute the order!" ”

Ouyang Yun had a somewhat ridiculous dream.

In this dreamland, the world he was in turned out to be cyan, the blue sky, the blue earth, and everything blue. In this world, he is still a soldier, but the difference is that he holds a large sword in his hand, while his subordinates are a group of warriors in armor, and their enemies are a group of strange people who wear strange masks and can fly freely in the sky. One in the sky and one on the ground, the difference in strength can be imagined. Although he Ouyang Yun and the soldiers were very desperate, they couldn't attack the enemy, but they could only be passively attacked by the enemy, and as a result, there were fewer and fewer soldiers around him, and finally, he was the only one left - "What are you doing, I'm unwilling!" He shouted, his face full of blood and tears, and beside him, the blood of the robes stained the blue earth red, and his world turned redβ€”many strange people flying in the sky surrounded him, and they "chattered" strange screams, and suddenly, one of the strange people in the lead took off his mask and revealed his true face, which turned out to be a Japanese face.

"Poor Shina, you can't beat us, no matter where you come from, no matter how hard you try, what awaits you will be a failure-" The leading weirdo said in Japanese, and then led all the weirdos to laugh arrogantly......

And just when he was unwilling to be manipulated by fate and resisted, he suddenly heard a shout: "The commander is awake!" Seriously through a little light, a few strange but familiar faces appeared in front of him, he shook his head vigorously, thought hard, and then finally remembered the names of these people: "Ding Yi, single male, Ye Zhao?" Is that you? ”

The single male and the others all looked surprised, and Ye Zhao took a long breath and said, "Okay, the commander is finally fine." ”

Ouyang Yun had already remembered what had happened before and after at this time, he immediately sat up, grabbed the nearest single male and asked, "How is Li Han's soul?" The 13th Brigade still has the 604th Regiment, what happened to them? Then, he felt something strange about him, looked down and almost fainted, and exclaimed, "Damn, what is it?" ”

His body was filled with steel needles that shimmered with silver light, and the dense steel needles dressed him like a hedgehog, and the horror of his appearance brought Ouyang Yun's shock, which was not enough for outsiders.

These steel needles are naturally Ding Yi's masterpieces. Ding Yi's steel needle can not only torture the enemy to extract confessions, but also save people.

Ye Zhao said: "The military seat has not woken up yet, the 13th Brigade and the 604th Regiment have returned. However, Wang Lao and his team suffered heavy casualties. ”

Ouyang Yun's face instantly became a little gloomy, and after meditating for a while, he asked, "Is there anything wrong with Lao Li?" ”

Ding Yi replied: "There is no danger to life." ”

Ouyang Yun looked at Ding Yi's face with a consistent expression and said, "Old Ding, help me pull out the needle." Well, thank you. ”

Ding nodded, brushed his hands over him, and then, miraculously, the steel needles were all gone.

Ouyang Yun stood up, took the clothes from Liu Zheliang's hand and put them on, and asked, "Where are we?" ”

Ye Zhao replied: "Yangzhou." ”

Ouyang Yun was taken aback: "Yangzhou? So how many days have I been in a coma? ”

"Three days."

"Three days? Damn, did there be troops over there in Pukou? ”

"The third and tenth divisions have passed, commander, here's an urgent telegram from the committee." After Ye Zhao finished speaking, he handed him a telegram.

This telegram asked the Cadet Corps to send a division to Wuhu, Anhui Province.

Ouyang Yun's mind was a little entangled for the time being, and some things in his memory came up, and he asked, "Wuhu?" How could we go to Wuhu? Now, what's going on with the war? ”

The faces of everyone present darkened, and Ye Zhao said, "Commander, I'm afraid that Nanjing will not be guaranteed." In the past few days, there are statistics that the Central Army has lost six divisions, the Sichuan Army has been broken up by the troops supporting from all over the country, the Northeast Army is now in Nanjing, and the 18th Division of the Japanese Army has occupied Zhenjiang and is currently marching upstream along the river embankment. Commander, it is estimated that the target of the ministry is Wuhu. Once Wuhu is occupied, then our way to retreat west will be blocked......"

"What about Yangzhou? Are there Japanese troops around us? ”

"Yes, the 11th Division and the Yamada Detachment of the 13th Division."

"Then has our army been in contact with these two Japanese troops now?"

"There was an exchange of fire between the reconnaissance troops, and we were going to move towards Pukou in the early morning. There is no doubt that the target of these two Japanese armies is also Pukou, and my idea is that instead of draining the Japanese army in Yangzhou, it is better to go to Pukou and integrate all the forces to fight a decisive battle with the Japanese army. Also, in Wuhu, I don't know which troops should be sent over. ”

"Tenth Division, immediately telegraph Zhang Meixin, and the whole army immediately marched towards Wuhu. Tell him that no matter what method is used, he must hold Wuhu - well, at least for a month. ”
